A Winecoff Fire Survivor Writes On The 75th Anniversay of The Tragedy

Dear Mr. Goodwin

As I was three years old at the time, I don't remember the night but have gathered many stories and met people involved in the fire event. I want to recall the Winecoff story today and thank you and Sam Heys for all you have done to bring it to the attention of those of us who want to remember. 

I hope you will post your thoughts of today's moment of history. You and Sam have kept the story alive and we who read your work appreciate all you have done.

Thank you Dr. Cox!

In Georgia, today we honor your parents and the other 117 victims of the fire as well as the brave Atlanta firefighters who, thankfully, saved you and dozens more.

Allen B. Goodwin
